Board Self-Assessment

Although board self-assessment is not a requirement under Ohio Revised Code, many boards find that assessing their own work as a governance group serves multiple purposes. It allows for open discussion about progress made toward district goals and objectives. It also gives the board a chance to discuss how they're working together as a team with their superintendent and treasurer, and whether the processes and protocols they've agreed to as a group are working.

Ensuring the financial stability of your district can be critical for many school board members and administrators. To complement your district's financial knowledge, OSBA offers services to help you plan for the future and ensure proper financial controls are in place today.
